Kyrie has a problem. It's not that he's human, although he's a human in a world ruled by beastmen
where humans are slaves or worse. It's not that he's posing as a beastman in order to find work, though
that's where his problem met him. It's not even that he's a pretty nice guy... though if he wasn't,
his problem might not have been his problem. No, poor, hapless Kyrie's problem isn't all those things
– it's a woman named Morte that's just walked into the tavern where he works... A woman who's made
it her personal mission to make sure that the world comes to an end, post haste. And unfortunately
for Kyrie and a little teddy bear named Toppi, thanks to a little misunderstanding, everybody thinks
that they're with her, members of the World Destruction Committee...

So, what should you do when you find out that yokai are hunting you? I mean, it's not like you can
run over to the local Qwik-E-Mart and buy a can of Yokai-b-Gone. You could always find a priestess
and ask her to exorcise you... but with your luck, she'd misunderstand, and you know how anime Miko
are... Well, fortunately for Noboru Takagami and his little brother Tooru, they can call on their family's
house guardian, the kitsune Kuugen Tenko. Then again, considering she's been locked up for so long
because of the mischief she caused the last time she was let out that she's forgotten whether she's
a she or a he... The cure just might be worse than the cold...

Life has an unpleasant way of punishing people for being special in some way.
How often in school was the quiet, really smart kid in your class also the
favored target for the school bullies because they wouldn't fight back? Or
the girl with braces teased and made fun of? Natsume Yuujinchou is
about a young man who is special in an unusual way. He can see and talk to
the many, many spirits that wander around, invisible to everybody but those
with great spiritual power. Of course, as we've already pointed out, life
has a way of punishing you when you're special, and so not only has nobody
ever believed him, he's been labeled as the strange child, the liar, and bounced
around from family member to family member after his parents died. By the
time we meet him, he's a quiet, shut-off and somewhat cynical young man – until
he finds an unusual book in the belongings of his grandmother when they're
delivered to him. A book of names.

It’s a rough life, being a high school student in Japan. I mean, with
the unnerving frequency of unpleasant things we anime fans witness happening
in schools, I don’t know that I’d ever want to set foot within the educational
boundaries of the Japanese school system. With all the super powers,
tsundere female martial arts masters, random evil guys plotting to take over
the world or at least get their last test scores upgraded a bit – and don’t
forget the alien teachers - it could be a rather unhealthy proposition. Especially
when the teacher’s little sister shows up. Unfortunately for Tsutomu
Senkawa, school grounds aren’t the only dangerous places out there, so when
he indulges in his hobby of exploring abandoned buildings, only to find out
that the building isn’t as empty as it first appeared... Well, let’s take
a look at Tetsuwan Birdy: Decode, and find out what happened.

As we do every year here at Dragon's Anime, we just wanted to take a minute out, and bid everyone out there a happy, and safe holiday season. We hope you'll be able to be at home with those you love, and surrounded by the warmth that brings.

Well, after about a week of swearing at this software and finally getting everything I wanted to do to it done, I have finally managed to encode the Anime Expo 2008 Idol Competition (thanks be to Nyaa Torrents for hosting the link).

Well, finally after a lot of false starts and procrastination, I've finally completed the Anime Expo 2008 report for days 3 and 4. It was a fun time this year, and I can't wait for next year. Let's hope it'll be another good year for us all.

After much procrastination, I've finally made the pics that Mayhem took at Fanime 2008 available for viewing. True we hung out most of the time, but there's more than enough variation that you'll see many and new things. And who knows, you might even see a new perspective on some older pics, heh.
